I read on Wikipedia that children's programming airing on network television is required to be educational and informative and one can identify this type of programming by a bug at the top of the screen that says, "e/i" and this rule does not apply to cable stations. So why do they allow the...

Because of the death-related opening card of Mysterious Theater I came up with the idea of decking the backdrop of Vincent Twice Vincent Twice's living room when he hosts Mysterious Theater with pictures of deceased Sesame Street cast and crew: In the first skit we'd see a picture of Will Lee...

When I was little in the early 1990s, some PBS show had the sponsors Mentos and (I think) Duracell. Does anybody know what show it was? Also, I remember the funding credits for the PBS show A.M. Weather, also in the early 1990s. The sponsors I remember were the U.S. Department of...

I know Curious George Goes to the Hospital was written in 1966(which was before they knew smoking was bad). However, on one page, in a picture of a waiting room, there is a sign that says, "No Smoking, Please." Why would the thought even occur to the authors about the idea of smoking not being...

I remember this skit where a door says "Bureau of Lost _ats". It's supposed to say Bureau of Lost Hats, but the H is missing. Does anybody remember this skit? If so, do you know what happens in it?
